Filter from within Power BI

[vandam2]

i have a list of inventory (computer names)

i would like the option to filter the computers starting with M and has total of 7 characters (eg. M234567)

is there a way i can do this from advance filtering? or does it have to be in powerquery?

Try creating a calculated column using LEFT and LEN. Something like..

Filter Flag = IF( AND( LEFT( 'Table'[ComputerName] , 1 ) = "M" , LEN( 'Table'[ComputerName] ) = 7 ) , "true" , "false" )
